Kim Soo Hyun’s representatives have attempted to clarify rumors surrounding his past interactions with Kim Sae Ron, particularly addressing a reported “soju date” that occurred when Kim Sae Ron was allegedly underage. However, these explanations have been met with strong criticism from netizens.
The “Soju Date” Controversy
Amidst ongoing speculation about a relationship between Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron, the Garo Sero Institute presented photographic evidence suggesting the two were close during a time when Kim Sae Ron was reportedly a minor. One specific instance highlighted was a “soju date” at Kim Soo Hyun’s home in June 2018.

Kim Soo Hyun’s team acknowledged the date but denied any inappropriate claims, stating that the actor’s family was also present during Kim Sae Ron’s visit.

Netizen Backlash
This explanation has ignited a wave of negative reactions from online communities. Many netizens expressed outrage and disbelief regarding the situation.
So basically, that photoโs timestamp is accurate, right? LOL. So he really made a minor cook Spicy Chicken Stew, and it was really at 11 PM? LOL, you bastard. Calling a minorโwho isnโt even from the same agencyโto his house at 11 PM? And his family was supposedly there? And they spent the night? What does that sound like to you? Itโs basically undeniable that they were in a relationship. This isnโt a clarificationโitโs a confirmation, you idiot. LOL.
Concerns were raised about why a minor would be at an adult’s home late at night, regardless of the presence of family members.
Even if the family was there, itโs a problem. If they werenโt, itโs still a problem. I checked the article to see if there was even a photo proving the family was present, but thereโs nothing. At least show some evidence before making claims, sh*t.
Skepticism was also voiced about the claim that Kim Soo Hyun’s family was present, with some demanding proof to support this statement.
Seriously, if they werenโt in a relationship, then why were they drinking soju together? Why drink alcohol? Was their family there too? What kind of nonsenseโฆ
The mention of “drinking soju together” further fueled the controversy, with netizens questioning the appropriateness of such an activity with a minor, even if alcohol was not directly consumed by her.
If they werenโt in a romantic relationship, wouldnโt that be an even bigger problem? Grooming a minor into believing theyโre in a relationship and acting like a normal couple? Why choose this angle? Does this make it seem like thereโs no issue? It seems like an even bigger problem. At the very least, they should show some respect for the deceased if theyโre human.
Some netizens argued that even if there was no romantic involvement, the situation still raises serious concerns about the nature of the interaction between an adult and a minor. The explanations provided by Kim Soo Hyun’s team appear to have intensified the negative sentiment rather than alleviating it.
